1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Rhino sinusitis, is a common inflammatory disease that affects the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in millions of individuals. Chronic sinusitis patients complain of a combination of nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, post nasal drip and facial pain. To identify the risk factors of the recurrence of nasal polyps in chronic rhino sinusitis patients after endoscopic sinus surgery. After a review of 60 patients with chronic rhino sinusitis with failed medical treatment requiring FESS presenting in Kasr Alainy Hospital in Cairo University and October 6 University Hospital from May 2022 to March 2023. All patients were subjected to history taking, clinical examination including endoscopy, subjective evaluation of symptoms and CT-scan. Of our patients, six patients (15%) were diagnosed with recurrence of nasal polyps with chronic rhino sinusitis and needed revision surgery. There are multiple risk factors related to the recurrence of nasal polyps including smoking followed by having a history of an asthma, the presence of an allergy, septal deviation, prior sinus surgery, and turbinate hypertrophy. Other factors, as proper medical treatment such as topical steroids and treatment of allergy had a significant role in decreasing the recurrence rate. Risk factors related to the recurrence of nasal polyps should be avoided before surgery. The avoidance of risk factors protects the patients from the recurrence of nasal polyps, the hazards of anaesthesia on surgical treatment, and the financial cost of surgery. Follow up is important in the prevention of recurrence of nasal polyps and improves the symptoms.
